for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and
the like.
8.
Accessories Do not place the appliance on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage
to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
appliance. Any mounting of the
appliance should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and

recommended by the manufacturer.
9.
An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and
cart combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance
and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not
be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked
by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided. There should be free space of at least 5
cm (2 in.) and an opening behind the appliance.
11. Power Sources The appliance should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
12. Grounding or Polarization The appliance may be
equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into
the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
14. Lightning For added protection for the appliance during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock.
16. Object and Liquid Entry Never push objects of any kind
into the appliance through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in
a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
appliance.
17. Servicing Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
18. Damage Requiring Service Unplug the appliance form
the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the appliance to its normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in
performance this indicates a need for service.
19. Replacement Parts When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

(e.g., AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.
5.
Do not touch the unit with wet hands
Do not handle the unit or power cord when your hands are wet
or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take the
unit to an authorized service center for inspection.
6. Location of the unit
· Place the unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides
of the unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If
ventilation is blocked, the unit may overheat and
malfunction.
· Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or heating units as
the unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten the life
of the pickup.
· Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by
vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the
unit on or above one of the speakers.
· Be sure the unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never
place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may
malfunction.
· When you place the unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may be
distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV,
radio, or VCR.
7. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels
and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a
soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring
it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry
immediately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical
solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or
remove the panel lettering.
8. Notes on Handling
· When shipping the unit, use the original shipping carton and
packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit
as it was originally packed at the factory.
· Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the
unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with
the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.
· The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm after
a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
· When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and
turn off the power.
· If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may not
function properly in the future. Turn on and use the unit
occasionally.
9.
To Obtain a Clear Picture
The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the optical
pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the
picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we
recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or
parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the
operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.
10. Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the unit.
Please read the following carefully.
· What is moisture condensation?
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a
cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form
on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may
condense on the optical pick-up lens inside the unit, one of
the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
· Moisture condensation occurs in the following
cases.
When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
When you use the unit in a room where you just turned on
the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air
conditioner directly hits the unit.
In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned
room.
When you use the unit in a humid place.
· Do not use the unit when moisture condensation
may occur.
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs
and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord
of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, and leave it for
two or three hours. After a few hours, the unit will have
warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit
connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will
seldom occur.
